Escape Room

Six people receive a mysterious box. It contains a chance to win ten thousand dollars. As the strangers arrive in a nondescript building and wait in a reception area.

They certainly find themselves locked in a series of escape rooms with fiendish traps and small clues. However this is no game, the penalty for failure is death.

Escape Room is reminiscent of the cult movie Cube. There are hints that the six people could be trapped in purgatory. We see flashbacks that they were all involved in some life threatening event where they may or could had perished.

Escape Room in its own term is better than a lot of low budget horror/thrillers. It is not as gory or nasty as the Saw movies.

It is competently entertaining with a subtext regarding pleasing the elites.

A really fun little thriller! The writing was a tad lackluster in some parts, but overall it didn't kill the mood. Same can be said about predictability, but again, it didn't ruin the film. Set design was excellent, and each room/game was well put together. It also managed to keep the tension at a fun level throughout. I'll definitely be watching the sequel when (or if) it gets released.

It's a really cool concept. Kind of takes over for the final destination franchise. Not a bloody movie either, they do cuts before anything gross happens. Sets up nicely for a sequel. Hope to see a few of these.

7/10 I enjoyed it, the rooms were amazing, the characters were likable, the movie had intense moments, I like the fact the characters were working together. It was great to get some type of backstory on each character.

The entire movie, all I could think of was Cube and how this movie was definitely inspired by it. The beginning starts off like an eye rolling Netflix B-horror, but it really does get better! Very tense moments and the room concepts are great. You'll have a lot of fun watching!
